Import Tips
• Document cold-pressing method and temperature logs to prove it hasn't undergone refining processes
• Test for residual solvent levels (should be zero) to confirm mechanical extraction and crude status
• Use temperature-controlled shipping to preserve quality, as degradation could lead to reclassification
